I have seen no sheds of any kind in TV. Is is safe to say they are verbotten, by the Powers that be?

[rshoffer]

Verbotten!

[GMONEY]

in case once wasnt enough, here it is again.. Verbotten!!

In the historic side, you can have a shed if it is permanently attached to your building structure, which pretty much precludes you from having a shed anywhere.

Do remember this is at least high wind (hurricane) country. Would you want your neighbor's shed to come flying into your home?

I would not even want my own shed to come flying into my home!

I believe the shed restriction goes way beyond hurricane safety concerns. I think it is in the "Pink Flamingo" category.

Pink flamingos are verboten?

As some of you may know, Maine is bordered more by Canada than by the United States, so Mainers venture into Canada from time to time for this and that reason.

In Canada I have seen orange flamingos with black wings on lawns. I have not seen them in Maine. In Maine the pink ones are used (by some anyway).

Once I drove by a house whose owners I knew to be on vacation. Someone had covered their lawn with 100 pink flamingos. This was in the winter, so imagine seeing a sea of pink on a white background upon your return from some warm sunny vacation spot

I know...I know...nothing to do with sheds....sorry...just a funny story

You can always add the Seven Dwarfs to keep them company.

Finally .......... I got something over on the yard nazis. We had two BIG sheds in the back of our house when we lived in Calumet Grove. No one told us we could not have them so we kept them when we moved here from Oviedo. (Had them there for years).
Since they were in the back of the house, the yard nazis couldn't see them.
We now have upgarded (I think) to a house with no fences (darn). So the yard nazis can patrol all around your house looking for stuff to report you for.
But it's wayyyyyy to late. We left them in Calumet Grove and I'll never tell where even if they put me in a padded room and beat me with their little covenant books.
So .......... what you don't see is what you keep!!!

How about picking up after dogs??

[SABRMnLgs]

And that has to do with sheds .............um how??

Another reason we would opt for a fence in no time if we could. Our beagle wouldn't need to be on a chain. Got to run free for 8 years (privacy fence), now a prisoner.

You can have a fenced yard in a Courtyard villa. And your dog won't have to be on a chain.

A CYV was what we had in Calumet Grove. And that also was were the aforementioned sheds were/are (see previous posting).
